There are no indigenous people in the Americas, nor in Europe, Asia, Australia, nor any longer in Africa. All humans found outside of certain river valleys in Africa are an invasive species and due to migration, displacement, and climate changes, even present day humans to be found in these regions are not indigenous. What you refer to as indigenous peoples are merely a technologically unsophisticated invasive species. Your continual failure to admit the truth regarding human populations is just more spin. And your news, though better than the cable channels, is saturated with spin, and impoverished as far as hard facts about such matters are concerned.
Democracy Now's narrative never recognizes or mention the fact that the peoples they refer to as ingenious were, in precolumbian times, continually at war with each other. And their methods were totally politically incorrect and brutal. So brutal that the entire idea of surrendering to a victor was not even considered an option. Nobody seemed to want to be tortured as public entertainment for days on end, and handed over to the women and children to have sport with the last of you. If one was lucky they didn't eat you.
Of course now, they are peaceful environmentalists. Right -- They were such great environmentalist that one of the major extinction events just happened to coincide with their penetration of and propagation through out the Americas. Just like everywhere else on earth: in the Americas humans appeared, and the indigenous fauna crashed.
Gone also are the early European horse tribes. So gone: that they are generally not even known.
What really makes me laugh is the way that self-proclaimed sophisticated intellectuals, take claims of sacred mountains and special sacred lands seriously. Either you see the Buddha in a stick of dung (which is to say that everything is sacred if you are) or your are just spinning bullshit. And the narrative that Democracy Now spins about these remnants of stone age tribes is pure bullshit, probably derived from Hollywood's revisionist romantic fantasies about them that began appearing in the seventies. I would recommend Empire of the Summer Moon as an informative and engaging peek into the horribly brutal reality of the behavior exhibited by these tribes toward each other and the newer invaders from Europe. Give up your puddin' headed notions: born out of your own yearning for a more authentic existence in the face of the omnipresent media mind-fuck you live in.
